To be honest, I kind of agree with Heigl re: Knocked Up. The women, and not just Heigl's character, were portrayed pretty badly - and while the movie was in part just a vehicle for comedy like the blog suggests, it was also supposed to be about relationships and responsibility. The movie's portrayal of the contrast between the male and female characters could easily be expanded by the viewer to represent contrasts between men and women in general... and it was probably intended that way in some part.

I don't know anything about Grey's Anatomy or Heigl, but her comments in the blog quote seemed fairly rational, and it's good to see people taking an honest and critical look at the work they are doing.

Having never yet seen Knocked Up - and You will have to desecrate by naked corspe with a fish before I succumb to watching Grey's Anatomy - I've never seen Heigel's work, so I have no idea why, over the past few months, the blogosphere has gone batfuck insane with hatred for Ms. Cancer.

Can someone explain it to me why she's gone from "reasonably attractive actress getting surprisingly good reviews" to "the woman who should apologize to the Jews for convincing Hitler to carry out her holocaust idea"?

Whether or not you think Knocked Up portrayed women as shrews or all fat guys as lazy stoners, it's still mighty lame to shit where you eat. It was like when the Beastie Boys apologized for Licensed to Ill, calling it sexist and immature. Sure, maybe you're right, but do you really need to be dicks about it?

"The women, and not just Heigl's character, were portrayed pretty badly"

But there's that great speech that Leslie Mann gives to Paul Rudd: "You think because you don't yell you're not mean -- but this is mean." I think the script is an interesting barometer of what is and isn't appropriate in a relationship. It seems like you and Heigl and the blogger misunderstands the script.

I don't know that Apatow always has the keenest insight into women. But I think "Knocked Up" was a pretty even-handed movie in showing the ugliness of both sexes.

Here's a radical thought, KH: don't take the role. Seriously. Have some integrity and just don't take it. It's not as if you need the damn money. Your other option is to take the role and decry the movie in the biography you write twenty years from now. Otherwise, please don't make us all participate in the conceit that you are highly principled. It's tedious.

Christian Bale. Cool Whip. Funny videos. And all we can talk about is Heigl. Let's hate someone else next week, huh? She's boring.

"It was like when the Beastie Boys apologized for Licensed to Ill, calling it sexist and immature. Sure, maybe you're right, but do you really need to be dicks about it?"

Omigosh, yes. Yes. I was tremendously disappointed in the Beasties after they made such a stink about decrying their early albums as sexist. C'mon guys; give your fans some credit. Back then they were clowns; nobody took them seriously. It was party music.

"Paul's Boutique" is still their best album ever.

Sorry, but Skank Cancer comes across as a conceited bitch every time she opens her mouth.

Like the rest, I'm tired of her. Could care less if I never see/hear of/from her again. let's move along to something else...

Along with the new terminator movie, I also see where that paragon of great taste is going to be putting out a Terminator series ("The Sarah Connor Chronicles")

Uh, yeah. Thank God I work 2nd shift!

Exactly, Samantha T.

GQ needs to merge their "Men of the Year" thing with their "Overrated" feature.

Rogen, buddy, it might be time to step back and cool -off before everyone gets sick of your ass.
